Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat first against Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here. RR have been almost flawless throughout the season under the leadership of Sanju Samson. The Royals have suffered just one defeat in nine matches and are on top of the table. While SRH have enjoyed success in the first half of the season, two consecutive defeats have acted as a hindrance to their progress in the points table. After winning the toss, SRH captain Pat Cummins said, "In the games we have, we have to win. We won, we batted first. Maybe that's our strength." "Given the circumstances, we wanted to do the same, we have done well this season. Momentum is important in this tournament," RR captain Sanju Samson said during the toss. Many things are working well. We just want to keep at it.
